Cambric tea

Fall is definitely here, and with it has arrived the need for a nice mug of hot tea and a cozy chair by the fire. During the first blizzard in The Long Winter, the Ingalls family enjoys some "strong, hot tea" to warm them during the storm. 
Laura goes on, "Ma even gave Grace a cup of cambric tea. Cambric tea was hot water and milk, with only a taste of tea in it, but little girls felt grown-up when their mothers let them drink cambric tea." 

If you're not a tea drinker, or if you have a young'un who wants to drink tea with the grown-ups, why not make a warm cup of cambric tea? Mmm...
